Chapter 118: Buying a House

Zhang Ke finally confirmed that she hadn't misheard; the little girl in front of her really wanted to spend twenty thousand to buy this courtyard.

Although Zhang Ke was shocked, she did not doubt Su Ruo's ability; after all, twenty thousand might be hard for others to come up with, but the Zhou family could definitely afford it.

Li Zhaodi, An'an, and the boy, the three of them, were also sizing up the courtyard at that moment; although they also thought twenty thousand was too expensive, no one spoke up to stop it.

Because they had unconditional trust in Su Ruo, knowing she did this, there must be her reason.

Moreover, their clothing business had already gotten on track; if the money ran out, they could earn more again, as long as Su Ruo was happy.

So, none of the several people thought it was wrong for Su Ruo to spend lavishly and buy this 'run-down' courtyard.

Moreover, after entering the courtyard, An'an and the boy felt the same as Su Ruo; the courtyard's magnetic field made them feel extremely comfortable.

Li Zhaodi's feeling, although not as strong as Su Ruo's, still made her feel comfortable and at peace in this courtyard, involuntarily giving rise to some fondness and liking.

Zhang Ke took Su Ruo to see the landlord in the back yard; it must be said that this courtyard is really large, taking several minutes to walk from the front yard to the back yard.

The landlord was a young person in his twenties, living in a storage room in the back yard, which was also the only room in this courtyard that had not been destroyed.

Upon hearing Su Ruo wanted to buy the courtyard, the landlord's facial expression showed no change; he spoke in a cold, hard tone: 'Twenty thousand, not a cent less.'

This directly cut off Zhang Ke's intention to bargain.

Su Ruo: 'Okay, if you have no problem on your side, I can immediately go get the money; when can you go handle the property transfer procedures?'

The landlord's facial expression finally changed; he looked at Su Ruo as if trying to discern the truth of her words.

After all, over this long period, many people had come to inquire about the house, but the only one who truly wanted to buy it was Su Ruo.

'Are you serious?' the landlord asked doubtfully.

Su Ruo took out a bankbook from her bag—actually from her space—and said: 'If you agree, we can sign the contract now and then go to the bank to withdraw the money.'

Only then did the landlord believe Su Ruo's words; he lifted his head, glanced at the courtyard, and said: 'Sign it!'

Although this place was where he had grown up since childhood, it held too many painful memories and was the root of all disasters; he wanted to leave here and never come back.

Until now, Zhang Ke was still dazed; he hadn't expected this matter to be settled so quickly, and Su Ruo had not even properly looked at this courtyard before buying it.

In his impression, a twenty-thousand purchase should require careful consideration for a few days before making a decision, shouldn't it?

But Zhang Ke still took out the pre-prepared house purchase contract.

After Su Ruo and the landlord checked it and found no problem, they both signed and stamped it, then went together to the bank to withdraw money.

During the waiting for the withdrawal, Zhang Ke called Zhou Feng; after all, for such a big matter, he had to report to Zhou Feng.

Zhou Feng, upon hearing that Su Ruo would spend twenty thousand to buy the courtyard, was also a little surprised, but he quickly reacted and instructed: 'Just do everything as Su Ruo says.'

Only then did Zhang Ke put her mind at ease.

After Zhou Feng hung up the phone, he also called the property registration office.

After Su Ruo withdrew the money, she first paid the landlord a ten-thousand deposit; the remaining ten thousand would be given after the property transfer procedures were completed, and the male landlord had no objection.

By the time Su Ruo and her group finished all this and arrived at the property registration office, it was almost time to leave work at noon.

But thanks to Zhou Feng's instructions, Su Ruo's handling went very smoothly.

After the new property deed came out, Su Ruo looked at her name on it, unable to suppress her excitement; this courtyard, which would be worth over a hundred million in the future, truly belonged to her.

Su Ruo gave the remaining money to the landlord, who said: 'I will move out within three days; at that time you can have someone come to collect the house.' Then he left without looking back.

Su Ruo didn't mind the landlord's attitude; after all, they would be strangers from now on.

Excitedly, Su Ruo put the property deed into her bag—actually into her space—before she finally let her mind rest completely.

Only then did she feel hungry; hearing her stomach growl, Su Ruo felt a little embarrassed looking at Zhang Ke, realizing she had been too excited and forgotten to eat.

To thank Zhang Ke for his help, Su Ruo wanted to invite him to a meal at the state-run hotel; Zhang Ke could not refuse and had to agree.

Inside the state-run hotel, Su Ruo generously ordered several hard dishes; after all, she was now also a wealthy woman worth over a hundred million.

After the meal, with host and guest fully satisfied and everyone having eaten and drunk their fill, Su Ruo again had Zhang Ke accompany her to buy the first small courtyard she had looked at.

After some bargaining, this courtyard finally sold for four thousand yuan.

Su Ruo signed the contract with the landlord, and since it was already time to go to work in the afternoon, she went to the property registration office to complete the procedures.

The staff at the property registration office, seeing that it was Su Ruo again, although a little puzzled, asked nothing and just helped her with the procedures.

Her past life experience made Su Ruo understand the principle of a cunning rabbit having three burrows; she knew that eggs cannot all be placed in one basket.

Now that Su Ruo has bought this courtyard, if anything happens in the future, even if she has to sell that large courtyard, she will not be left without a place to stay.

Moreover, since Su Ruo knows that future housing prices will skyrocket, she certainly wants to take advantage of current low prices to buy several more units; such a sure-profit transaction, how could she possibly miss it?

Although Zhang Ke was puzzled—Su Ruo had already bought that large courtyard, why buy another small one? —he did not ask further, and after sending Su Ruo and the others back, he left.

Only then did Li Zhaodi ask: 'Master, why do you want to buy two courtyards?'

In Li Zhaodi's mind, that first large courtyard was already enough for them to live in, so she did not understand why the master would still buy a small one.

Su Ruo looked seriously at Li Zhaodi and asked: 'Zhao Di, do you believe me or not?'

Li Zhaodi immediately nodded solemnly; she naturally believed her master, for if she did not even believe her master, then there would be no one in this world she could trust.

Su Ruo: 'If you believe me, then listen to me; while houses are cheap now, if you have money in hand, buy several more properties.'

Now that the country has liberalized the economy, people's lives will surely get better and better; likewise, housing prices will only rise, so buying property now buying property result in a loss.

Li Zhaodi's gaze shifted from now on will definitely not result in a loss.

【52】 Li Zhaodi's gaze shifted from thoughtful to firm, and she said: 'I understand, master.'

From then on, Li Zhaodi launched into a non-stop buying mode, because she believed her master's words would absolutely not be wrong.

This trust also brought her enormous wealth, even making her the first female richest person in Huaguo.

In the evening, to celebrate Su Ruo's house purchase, Li Zhaodi specially prepared a table of sumptuous dishes.

Su Ruo solemnly raised her cup to thank Zhou Feng; if it weren't for Zhou Feng, her house purchase would not have gone so smoothly.

But while Su Ruo's side was filled with laughter and joy, in a secluded courtyard, a black-robed man, upon learning that the courtyard he had taken a fancy to had actually been sold—and moreover sold to Su Ruo—immediately flew into a rage and fiercely smashed the incense burner in his hand.

'Su Ruo!' As he shouted this name, the black-robed man's eyes were filled with, unable to conceal, anger and hatred.
